Dispite many saying this is not historically accurate. It was still incredible to see the coliseum and the circus maximus in its glory days , the recreation of Rome in the flavian era was very enjoyable for me . I was in Rome last month and I've spent alot of time on you tube watching the 3d revreations of the forum and structures of the time. Movies like this are fun to watch, I'm not looking for total accuracy, but it's enjoyable, Gladiator was another of my all time favorite movies of the Roman era . I hope they make a second season of those about to die. There were 100 days of games. We only saw day 1...lol. I found this series very enjoyable . If you like ancient Rome stories , even if it's not 100% acurate , you will enjoy this well done recreation of Rome.
